What a Beautiful Saturday!

We had a great Saturday with our sweet baby boy! He's doing so good....we couldn't be happier with his progress! He's still doing really good on his new ventilator and resting great now that he doesn't have the oscillator vibrating his whole body while pumping 500 breathes a minute! He is minus one tube now as well! He hasn't been draining anymore fluid off of his chest, so they were able to take his drain tube out of his chest.  You know things are moving in the right direction when tubes start being taken away instead of added.  We are finally learning how that feels.  I can't even describe the feelings and emotions Matt and I have gone through today and many other days, just thinking about how great and how far Pearson has come in almost four weeks.  We stood next to his bed today and just stared at our precious miracle and talked about how we can finally see an end in sight. Not saying that we will be home in the next few weeks, but we know it's going to happen eventually. We feel like the hardest part is over, and for the first time we were able to really talk and be excited about bringing our son home, rocking him in his bedroom, taking him for walks, and all of the other wonderful things we look forward to doing when we get home with him.  Of course we've talked about doing these things before, but it was so much more special and real today, because now we know that that day is coming, sooner than later. God is SO great! We thank Him for every second he gives us with our sweet angel.

Unfortunately, I wasn't in the room when Matt changed Pearson's first diaper, but I was in there for the second one, so I got a picture to share with you all! He's definitely a keeper!:)
